“I will paraphrase Einstein. . .and say that humanity, the future of humanity, needs this technology (compassion) as much as it needs all the others that have now connected us and set before us the terrifying and wondrous possibility of actually becoming one human race.”

What is compassion? Where have you experienced it on campus? Or not?When have you given or received compassion recently? Does compassion have a role to play in scientific endeavors? Is compassion something you are called to based on your spiritual, faith or secular core values?

This topic is part of our L3 continuing semester series Creating Unity in an Age of Polarization.

Join us for our L3 weekly lunch discussion tomorrow, Wednesday February 27. Our theme for this Spring 2019 semester is Creating Unity in an Age of Polarization!

Our topic for tomorrow will be intellectual humility.

Here is an article that we will be using to guide our conversation. Some questions to reflect on are; How does intellectual humility ease the tension that polarization perpetuates? Why does our political discourse view humility as a weakness or evidence of no confidence/conviction?
